About the Book :
This subject of PLM is quite important in industry as many commercial and customized software providers are available on web. Mumbai university runs this course as institute level elective which projects that irrespective of the engineering domain, every engineering graduate should have knowledge of PLM. The importance of this subject can also be realized from the fact that post-graduate courses also offer this subject.
First module is focused on understanding the PLM system, its background and its complete implementation process.
Module two is more inclined towards design of product which can be a physical product, a software, an electronic circuit or any service like an insurance policy. This module covers the
different design models and the required refinement considering the environment in design process.
Module three is based on managing product data.
Module four makes students familiarize with virtual product development tools and techniques. As virtual product saves a lot of time and money, the module focusses on
the necessity to study and develop virtual product.
The integration of environmental aspects in product design and the necessary changes that a design team has to do has been elaborated in the fifth module.
The last module focusses on the framework of life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analysis.
